My toddler loves to wash her hands with soap, she'll do it even if they are clean. So I try to have non-toxic soap in the house, or at least something without triclosan (toxic pesticide in antibacterial soaps). I love trying natural skin care products and whatever I use on my daughter I usually try on myself as well. We were excited to be contacted by Green Beaver to try their new line of Junior organic kids skin care products.
We tried the Foaming Hand Wash, Foaming Body Wash, Shampoo, Conditioning Detangler, and the Zesty Orange Toothpaste. I love that these products are free of parabens, artificial fragrances, phthlates, petrolatum, or other nasty stuff. The ingredients are certified organic, it smells like wild berries, and I can feel good about having my family use it.
As for performance, I'm afraid I'll use it up before my toddler! I love how my hair acts and feels with this shampoo. It is silky and stays clean for long, doesn't dry out my scalp. I feel like it is really great for the whole family. The smell is so pleasant, but doesn't leave you smelling like wild berries, it pretty much washes off. The detangler works best on my daughter's fine hair, but it is also alright for me. I spray it on wet hair and don't even need a conditioner.
The Foaming Hand Wash and Body Wash are great and very economical with these dispensers. We took them on vacation and they traveled well. Love the Zesty Orange Toothpaste but I'm afraid it is too delicious for toddlers, my daughter doesn't want to spit it out! Well, at least she isn't eating fluoride poison. Another bonus: they have a great line of certified organic adult skin and hair care as well.
